| Review Summary |
Michael Sundquist tags along reluctantly with his mother to Hawaii. His mother, the anthropologist, finds this move of all expenses paid and the opportunity to study skeletal remains near a volcano irresitable. No one knew the dangers involved until Michael's newly made friends began to die mysteriously after a late night ocean dive. Michael now wonders if he is next as he begans to suffer strange internal physical transformations. His mother, getting closer to answers, knows time is of the essence if she is to save her son's life with hopes to restore him to the life his once knew.
